Big Supes Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks mate... they sure did look good straight from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks matey. It'll be interesting... I'll be spending tomorrow night going over all the boost pipes as I think I have a leak. I get nasty boost spikes every now 'n then so have to set the boost to 1.1 in case it jumps up .3. Bluewater sounds good... We'll have to pick the right month, then I need to persuade everyone else to come up. Yes mate that sounds like a plan, fancy coming for the June meet?

Big Supes Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 looks very nice mate, im tempted by a auto myself as not too many tt6 about Thanks mate. I looked a few TT6's, but they were a little bit shabby for my budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Nothing too exciting to report, but thought I'd give this thread a little update.... After replacing the front nearside wheel bearing, I managed to destroy the ABS sensor so both have been replaced. It was a £130 (new ABS sensor) lesson learned from diving straight in. A few other parts that have been replaced when searching for a boost issue... Replacing O2 sensors: Uprated inlet pipes: Popping on the pipes at JAE Cause of the boost issue (cracked weld on the standard SMIC): .... I have some Chris Wilson goodness coming to take it's place. Something to tinker with in the mean time... Looking good after a day of pampering: I'm back in the daily now the shite weather is here so it's time to go through the winter job list: Change rear upper arms Reseal offside headlight Change tyre Replace front offside wheel bearing Fit Chris Wilson SMIC I wanted to get the auto to manual conversion done this winter, but maintenance has had to come first from my budget. It can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Lovely looking Supra But I don't think that is a stock intercooler, looks like an 'uprated one'. Perhaps it's just the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks mate. I'd be surprised if it was an uprated IC, but as I have never seen another in the flesh, I wouldn't know what to compare it to. One thing for certain is that you can see from the quality of the weld where it has failed, it looks like it has been patched here before. I didn't want to take any chances attempting to salvage it so it'll be going in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 That is not a stock side mount intercooler the stock ones dont have any welds, they have like a tong and groove sort of thing clamping end caps in place from what I remember of mine, Easy repair on that with a decent welder but may fail else where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks for confirming mellonman. Either way, its going in the bin... I don't have faith in the build quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 You'll get some money for it, even in that condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I guess so... I'll have a good look at it when it's out and maybe take it to a friend who can tig it, then on to another friend who can pressure check it. The fins are in reasonable order.

AndrewOW Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I recognise something there Hope you get to fit it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Indeed! Looks like a nice bit of kit Andrew. Kudos on your workmanship. I have an electric passenger seat base to fit so I'll run the feed for this at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Spotted leaving yesterday's Paul Walker Remembrance meet at Beaulieu...

Big Supes Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 First Christmas present for Supes: Chris Wilson SMIC. Should help trap some of those horses that were escaping! Picture doesn't do it justice, TBH. Will get some more once it's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Oh... and also found a video of us arriving at the Paul Walker Remembrance Meet. Am I slightly bias if I said I prefer the sound of the Supra at cruising speed to the Lambo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
